The goal was to create a dynamic character-driven animation of robotic arms working away making Highball Collective drinks. After a hard day's work they enjoy a drink and a round of ping pong. Making this a full CG spot we were able to put the robots in any situation and go to town with the lighting of the sets and the animation of the liquid and robots themselves.

Particles were then spawned from the larger chunks to throw tiny shards. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/36835/1391567/Esplosio_02.jpg" width="670" height="467" width_o="800" height_o="558" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/36835/1391567/Esplosio_02_o.jpg" data-mid="6911676" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/36835/1391567/Production_Shots_02_v2.jpg" width="670" height="318" width_o="799" height_o="380" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/36835/1391567/Production_Shots_02_v2_o.jpg" data-mid="6781871" border="0" align="left"/> MATERIAL SEPERATION One thing we wanted to do was keep the the overall look graphic with control over different surfaces. Using mattes to break apart the inner and outer core gave specific areas for adding detail in post <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/36835/1391567/Production_Shots_03_v2.jpg" width="670" height="318" width_o="799" height_o="380" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/36835/1391567/Production_Shots_03_v2_o.jpg" data-mid="6781872" border="0" align="left"/> PARTICAL STREAMS The Biggest thing to get right, as it was used in most of the shots, was the debris of particles that was blowing off the surfaces. The goal was to have a very organic motion that resembled pieces being pulled/striped away. The solution was to spawn particle seeds that spew debris out for short periods of time with varying sizes. This technique was also used in the end reactor shot as well as the Red Cross logo reforming at the end. The great thing of this Particle Flow system was that it could be integrated into any scene based on where I needed it to spawn. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/36835/1391567/streams_01.jpg" width="670" height="467" width_o="800" height_o="558" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/36835/1391567/streams_01_o.jpg" data-mid="6912108" border="0" align="left"/> Self-initiated PSA for Japanese Relief Aid.
